firewall permissions vanished

i am running kerio firewall. just now when i turned on my pc i noticed kerio started asking me again for program permissions. when i looked in the admin settings all of my program permissions were gone. it was like a fresh install of the firewall. have any of you noticed this behavior before with kerio or any other firewall? i did a virus scan and it came back clean. i have system restore turned off, the rest of my programs are as they always was. kerio was the only thing that changed. is there a type of virus that could cause this and not be detected by mcafee? my pc is password protected, and im 100% possitive no one has been on it since i was on it last.

yes i used the windows update and downloaded the remaining 3 criticals. turned off the pc. came back after a while and all my permissions were gone. after all these years its the first time ive seen that happen. i guess the windows update may have caused it after all. thanks for all the replies, its good to know its nothing serious.

Same thing happened to me two days ago, I was playing a game that crashed, had to reboot and when my PC came back it was like I had just installed Sygate fresh, it was asking me for permission for websites and Instant Messenger and stuff. I had to basically reconfigure my firewall all over again.

It's worth noting however, that all of my Advanced rules were still in place. Doesn't seem to harmful, although it's an example of my computer exhibiting a little more personality than I'm comfortable with.
